Diane, did you see what President Obama said about the NDRC's work?

Barack Obama (via Twitter): Thanks in part to the NDRC, states that were once gerrymandered by Republicans—Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, Minnesota—are now highly competitive. And that's how it should be—voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

He's right! Together, our grassroots movement helped Democrats:

  • FLIP state legislative chambers in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania,
  • BLOCK veto-proof GOP majorities in states like Wisconsin and North Carolina,
  • DEFEAT election deniers in states like Arizona and Nevada,
  • WIN full control of state government in states like Michigan and Minnesota.

We are incredibly grateful to this community for giving us the resources to make this happen. Will you make a donation to help us keep up the fight?

For years, grassroots supporters like you have powered the NDRC's fight for fairness — and last November, those efforts paid off!

But our work is not over, Diane. That's why President Obama also said this:

[V]oters in some states—including Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin—are still affected by gerrymandering. That's why we've got to stay in the fight and keep working to stop partisan gerrymandering once and for all.

We achieved some incredible victories for democracy last November — but by no means are we in the clear. That's because through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and attacking our electoral institutions, Republicans are not giving up on ways to hold onto unearned power.

We can't take our progress for granted. Instead, we must recommit to fighting for fairness state by state and all across the country. So please don't let up on your support — we need to see this work through to the end. Will you pitch in now?

Thank you!

Team NDRC
